About this map

Bailey Cem provides a central historical landmark within this section of Franklin County, reflecting the deep roots of the local farming community. The landscape is defined by the drainage patterns of Big Cottonwood Cr and Center Cr, which carve through the plains. Man-made water management is evident in several irrigation and livestock catchments, most notably Adam Reservoir, Phillipson Reservoir, and two distinct sites labeled Frerichs Reservoir. The terrain is organized by a strict grid of section lines, with many of the local routes, such as Ridge Rd and R Rd, following the boundaries of the Public Land Survey System townships t3n r16w and t2n r15w. This 2021 survey demonstrates the enduring agricultural layout of the Nebraska plains, where large-scale farming and water conservation remain the primary drivers of the rural infrastructure.
